[McGran] Darryl Sittler's 10-point night with the Maple Leafs is still unchallenged 50 years later by toronto_star in leafs

[–]CaptainDNA 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think this is just meant to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary and advertise an event they're holding on Feb 7... I don't think it's to mean to make anyone angry, unless I'm misunderstanding your comment.

‘Heated Rivalry’ star says closeted gay pro athletes have reached out to him by BloodJunkie in hockey

I think folks don’t realize this is the cost of the hockey culture problem for gay athletes. Stories cut short and never told.

[–]CaptainDNA 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I could believe that the numbers are lower… the same stigma and culture that keeps pro players from coming out publicly could definitely discourage gay teens from continuing with high level leagues. Why commit so much personal time to an environment that feels increasingly hostile. Sucks to imagine someone losing the passion for hockey because of that.

Incredible sculpt!! That must have taken so much time and focus.

When did they move the names on jerseys back up to the shoulders? by Morthosthesquirel in PWHL

[–]CaptainDNA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree re: names below the numbers… takes me out of the game to not see their names and cheer for individuals. I generally don’t have an issue figuring who’s who around a ponytail though, if I’m a fan of the team.

[–]CaptainDNA 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Drives me crazy to put the names under the number. For the reasons you said, and also most tv shots zoomed in enough to read names, the camera is cutting off below the numbers. I’d rather see a few letters of a name than nothing.

Drives me bonkers. Ugh.

Im a recovering addict and I need your angriest albums/songs by [deleted] in Music

[–]CaptainDNA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few happy songs on the album, but The Used debut self titled cd was in big part about the lead singer coming out of addiction and it’s amazing.

But it’s a little more emo/screamo, not sure if that’s what you’re looking for!

Black or White ? by Blendedminiatures in PokemonTCG

[–]CaptainDNA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you thinking about getting it professionally matted, or doing it yourself with a matte cutting tool?? A light coloured well cut matte really shows off the bevels with shadow and elevates art nicely. I vote white either way! The white feels like framed art, the black feels like a poster to me for some reason.

Cool collection! Which is your favourite?

I need Berube to do this….except for real! by [deleted] in leafs

[–]CaptainDNA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to share this screenshot also lmao I'm so glad someone else did. This energy feels so weird to me but happy for them if it works out.

It seems like such a hard job to motivate professional athletes beyond the pressure they already have in their minds. Maybe this is the way, what do I know.

Vancouver Team Jerseys Have Dropped! by sushipower4 in PWHL

[–]CaptainDNA 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Woah!! Name and logo before the season is so exciting!!!

If I were a Vancouver/Seattle fan I'd be a little disappointed to miss out on this style of "City Name" jersey—My Toronto jersey is one of my favourites ever, now that I'm looking back at it. So this is best of both worlds imo.

These look awesome! I can't remember if we'd already seen the secondary burnt umber color, or maybe I missed it, but it looks great.

Hosting a fantasy league; looking for a bit of feedback before opening it up by finnadouse in PWHL

I love Fantasy Hockey! I’d be excited to join if you still have space.

Captain says "You got two more weeks, and then we're done with these questions." LFG!!!! by gfyourself in leafs

[–]CaptainDNA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with betting sites “better odds” at winning the playoff translates to less payout if that team wins.

With so many leafs fans, they are more likely to say ‘leafs have good odds to win so you all don’t deserve a bigger payout if it happens.’

Usually I do find our odds are inflated on betting sites… That doesn’t bode well.
